Knowledge Sharing on Social Media: A Decade in Review (2013-2023)

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to carry out a bibliometric analysis to investigate the prominent publications, organizations, and countries that have exerted the most significant influence in the realm of social media publications on knowledge sharing. In addition, various research themes in "knowledge sharing on social media" (KSSM) publications were explored. A total of 5,176 publications related to the KSSM were obtained via the Web of Science database between 2013 and 2023. These publications were subsequently analyzed using VOSviewer software. Computers in Human Behavior is the most influential journal for KSSM publications. The USA and China are the leading nations in terms of output, occupying the first and second positions, respectively. Wuhan University is a highly productive institution for KSSM research. This study represents the inaugural bibliometric analysis conducted to investigate the comprehensive contributions made to the discipline of KSSM. Such an examination is crucial for gaining a holistic comprehension of the latest developments in KSSM research. Nevertheless, the scope of the review is constrained by the quantity of literature chosen, impacting its inclusivity and comprehensiveness.
